Going to the Rescue
The day had just dawned in the Dry City when the nine carriages were already lined up in front of the mansion in the central part of that city.
At this point, there was a thin layer of dew on the grass in the garden of Minos' mansion, while the daylight was dimmed by the cloudy sky that hung over the Dry City at this time.
It was 12 degrees celsius (53.6ºF), and there was a delightful light wind at this moment, at the same time, in which the morning silence prevailed in that place.
The young Stuart's town wasn't big yet, so there was that tranquility typical of small towns and the countryside at certain times of the day.
And, at the same time, in which this smooth start of the day passed little by little, the 40 soldiers chosen for this rescue mission were already in front of their respective carriages.
